During two days of meetings in London, the World Sailing Council passed Submission M22-18 late on Monday 15 May after extensive rounds of voting to decide the Events that will be used at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Most Finn sailors have one focus this year, the Hempel World Sailing Championships in Aarhus, Denmark in August. Nothing else really matters apart from those first eight, almost tangible, places on the starting line in Tokyo in 2020.

To illustrate the strength of the class at the moment, it’s interesting to look at the number of events each year. So instead of the normal short list of major events, here is what we collected – more than 200 Finn regattas. It’s not all of them, but it is quite impressive.
